The security of your information, transactions, and money is the core of our business and top priority at PayPal.

PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs (through our website) using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128 bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to their site, PayPal's server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.

Once your information is transferred through our website to PayPal, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. PayPal servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are never directly connected to the internet, so your private information stays private.

Also, here's one more very important piece of information...Your email address STAYS private and will never be given out.
